William Rémy (born 4 April 1991) is a French professional footballer who plays for Ekstraklasa club Legia Warszawa. He plays as a central defender and is a former French youth international having starred for the under-17, under-18, and under-19 teams.
Club career
Born in Courbevoie, Rémy joined Pas-de-Calais-based club Lens in 2004. He made his professional football debut on 13 October 2008 in a Ligue 2 match against Guingamp coming on as a substitute playing 8 minutes.[1][2] Rémy also appeared in his club's upset loss to Championnat de France amateur 2 side and lesser rivals Arras Football in the Coupe de France coming on as a substitute in the 81st minute and playing the entire extra time session before watching his club bow out 4–2 on penalties.[3]
In August 2011 Rémy had a trial at Newcastle United along with Darnel Situ. Both Remy and Situ scored in their debut for the reserves in a 5–0 victory over Gateshead.[4][5]
After four years with Lens, Rémy moved to the Ligue 2 side Dijon FCO on a three-year contract.
In January 2018, he joined Polish club Legia Warsaw from Montpellier HSC on a 3½-year deal.[6]
International career
Rémy was a France youth international. He was a part of the France U-17 squad that finished runners-up at the 2008 UEFA European Under-17 Football Championship. In a group stage match against Spain, he scored on a volley off a corner kick.[7] The goal gave France a 3–2 lead, though Spain would later score and the match would end in a draw.
